book		Chronicle of a camera : the Arriflex 35 in North America, 1945-1972 / Norris Pope Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, Call No: 233 POP Author: Pope, Norris Edition: 2013 Place: Jackson Publisher: University Press of Mississippi PhysDes: 168 pages : illustrated ; 22 cm Subject: CAMERAS; CORMAN, ROGER; EASTWOOD, CLINT; KOVACS, LASZLO; HOPPER, DENNIS; FONDA, PETER; ZSIGMOND, VILMOS; EASY RIDER (US, Dennis Hopper, 1969); BULLITT (US, Peter Yates, 1968); NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (US, George A. Romero, 1968) ISBN: 9781496814685 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema Contents: This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces the North American history of this camera from 1945 through 1972--when the first lightweight, self-blimped 35mm cameras became available. Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film production, documenting the Arriflex's increasingly important role in expanding the range of production choices, styles, and even content of American motion pictures in this period. The book's exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s, including a number of films associated with what came to be known as the "Hollywood New Wave." The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex played an absolutely central role include Bullitt, The French Connection, and, most significantly, Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex for car-mounted shots, hand-held shots, and zoom-lens shots led to greater cinematic realism and personal expression. -- publisher's web site More info

The result is that science fiction provides the most useful social theory, the only form that manages to be as radical as reality itself. Original and compelling, Connected shows how the continual experimentation of science fiction, like science and technology themselves, conjures the invisible social and economic forces that surround us." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes notes, bibliographical references, filmography and index.

book		Creepshow / Simon Brown Leighton Buzzard: Auteur Publishing, 2019. Call No: 79 CRE BRO Author: Brown, Simon Source: UK Place: Leighton Buzzard Publisher: Auteur Publishing PubDate: 2019 PhysDes: 106 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm. Series: Devil's Advocates Subject: CREEPSHOW (US, George A. Romero, 1982) Summary: Released in cinemas in 1982, Creepshow is typically regarded as a minor entry in both the film output of George A. Romero and the history of adaptations of the works of Stephen King. Yet this lack of critical attention hides the fact that Creepshow is the only full collaboration between America's bestselling author of horror tales and one of the masters of modern American horror cinema. Long considered too mainstream for the director of Dawn of the Dead (1978), too comic for the author that gave audiences the film versions of Carrie (1976) and The Shining (1980), and too violent for a cinemagoing public turning away from gore cinema in the autumn of 1982, Creepshow is here reassessed. The book examines the making and release of the film and its legacy through a comic-book adaptation and two sequels. The book's analysis focuses on the key influences on the film, not just Romero and King, but also the anthology horrors of Amicus Productions, body horror cinema, and the special make-up effects of Tom Savini, the relationship between horror and humour, and most notably the tradition of EC horror comics of the 1950s, from which the film draws both its thematic preoccupations and its visual style. Ultimately the book argues that not only is Creepshow a major work in the canons of Romero and King, but also that it represents a significant example of the portmanteau horror film, of the blending of horror and comedy, and finally, decades before the career of Zack Snyder (Watchmen, Man of Steel), of attempting to recreate a comic book aesthetic on the big screen. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781911325918 Contents: Introduction: The Two Bearded Behemoths of Fright -- 1: Telegrams of Terror: The Making of Creepshow -- 2: The Short (and Bloody) History of EC -- 3: Nasty Things to Nasty People: Creepshow’s Moral Universe -- 4: Tales from The Crate: Creepshow, EC and ‘Comic Book Style’ -- 5: A New World of Blood and Monsters: Creepshow, Gore and Violence -- 6: The Reception of Creepshow -- 7: The Most Fun You’ll Have Being Scared: Creepshow and Humour -- Conclusion: The Legacy of Creepshow More info

Romero have presented viewers with hellish visions of our world overrun by flesh-eating ghouls. This rigorous but entertaining study shows how these films use Christian imagery from the Bible and Dante to probe deeper questions of human nature and purpose, while also giving a chilling and darkly humorous critique of modern, secular America that should be heeded by Christian and humanist alike."

Romero, 1981); MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL (UK, Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones, 1974); RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (US, Steven Spielberg, 1981) Summary: Hollywood Knights examines Hollywood Arthuriana as political nostalgia offered to American viewers during times of cultural crisis: the red scare of the 1950s, the breakdown of traditional authority in the 1960s and 1970s, the turn to the right in the 1980s and the redemption of masculine and national authority in the 1990s. Its analysis of these films explores their proposal of an ideal past - an Americanized Camelot and a democratized chivalry - as the solution to the problems of a troubled present, a solution that will ensure prosperity in the homeland and a globally beneficial American authority abroad. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781403966490 More info

book		Night of the living dead / Ben Hervey BasingStoke [England] ; New York: Palgrave Macmillan ; London : On behalf of the British Film Institute, 2008. Call No: 79NIG HER Author: Hervey, Ben Source: UK Place: BasingStoke [England] ; New York Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan ; London : On behalf of the British Film Institute PubDate: 2008 PhysDes: 128 p. : ill. ; 19 cm. Series: BFI film classics Subject: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (US, George A. Romero, 1968) Summary: "George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is a cult classic, a tremendously effective and influential horror film that has resonated with audiences, and with independent film-makers, ever since its release in 1968. The movie redefined horror cinema, ripping away its Gothic cobwebs to confront harsh contemporary realities, and launched the modern zombie genre that continues with films like 28 Days Later ... and Shaun of the Dead." "Ben Hervey's study of the movie and its enduring appeal traces Night's influences, from Powell and Pressburger to fifties horror comics, and provides the first history of its reception. Hervey argues that the film broke cultural barriers, feted at New York's Museum of Modern Art while it was still 42nd Street grindhouses. Scene-by-scene analysis meshes with detailed historical contexts, showing why Night spoke to its audiences about Vietnam, civil rights and the ever-bloodier seizures of society in the grip of traumatic change. Hervey argues that Night was a new kind of horror film: the expression of a generation who didn't want their world to return to normal."--Extract taken from the back of the book.

In recent years, this has changed dramatically. The undead are fast and ferocious in 28 Days Later… (2002) and World War Z (2013). In Warm Bodies (2013) and In the Flesh (2013–2015), they are thoughtful, sensitive and capable of empathy. These sometimes radically different depictions of the undead (and the still living) suggest critical inquiries: What does it mean to be human? What makes a monster? Who survives the zombie apocalypse, and why? Focusing on classic and current movies and TV shows, the author reveals how the once-subversive modern zombie, now more popular than ever, has been co-opted by the mainstream culture industry. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 978147666730 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Preface: Dawn of a Zombie Scholar -- Introduction: The Shifting Culture of the Modern Zombie -- 1.

The living dead have been lurking in popular culture since the 1930s, but they have never been as ubiquitous or as widely-embraced as they are today. Zombie Cinema is a lively and accessible introduction to this massively popular genre. Presenting a historical overview of zombie appearances in cinema and on television, Ian Olney also considers why, more than any other horror movie monster, zombies have captured the imagination of twenty-first-century audiences. Surveying the landmarks of zombie film and TV, from White Zombie to The Walking Dead, the book also offers unique insight into why zombies have gone global, spreading well beyond the borders of American and European cinema to turn up in films from countries as far-flung as Cuba, India, Japan, New Zealand, and Nigeria. Both fun and thought-provoking, Zombie Cinema will give readers a new perspective on our ravenous hunger for the living dead. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780813579474 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Our Zombies, Ourselves -- 1.
